Description

A gorgeous summer salad full of fresh summer vegetables: corn, tomatoes and bell pepper!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • 6 ears Fresh Corn, Cleaned And Kernels Cut Off
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 pound Medium Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ teaspoons Red Pepper Flakes
  • 10 ounces, weight Cherry Tomatoes, Cut In Half
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, Raw Or Roasted
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Minced
  • ⅛ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoons Freshly Ground Pepper
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon White Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Ancho Chile Powder

Preparation

Place the corn kernels in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, mix the cajun seasoning and the shrimp. Over medium heat, put the olive oil in a large skillet. When it’s hot, add the shrimp, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan to cool.

To make the dressing, just combine the dressing ingredients with a small whisk.

Place all salad ingredients in a large bowl and pour the dressing over. Toss gently and taste to see if it needs anything (salt, pepper, lime, etc.).

You can serve it at room temperature, or chilled. Or even slighly warm, I would imagine. It’s just delicious, as well as easy and quick!
